Annie Sloan is delighted to announce that two new colours will join the Chalk Paint™ Decorative Paint range by Annie Sloan in May in Southern Africa. The inspiration for these exciting colours has been take from around Europe:

Amsterdam Green: a strong, deep green, inspired by painted shutters and doors in Amsterdam and throughout Europe. It works particularly well with whites and creams.

Honfleur: named after a harbour town in Normandy and inspired by rich, warm browns found in rustic French countryside and mid-20th century design. It works well with bright colours.

The Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ Decorative Paint range is now proudly manufactured in South Africa and comprises over 30 decorative and historic colours, which combine well to provide an even larger colour palette, making it easy to find just the right shade. Annie Sloan’s paint offers a simple way to transform furniture, walls and floors and absolutely anyone can achieve great results – from the novice to the experienced Upcycler.
